Since Macro is deprecated I am trying to eliminate it from my diaplan. I
believe I have successfully done so in the example below.

; dial an internal extension exten => 101,1 Macro(ext,100,Dahdi/15)

TO:

exten => 101,1,Dial(Dahdi/15,30)

So far it seems to work. However I also in my dialplan have call routing examples that use macro that I am not able to figure out.

exten => s/5553331111,1,Macro(busy);

TO:

exten => s/5553331111,1,Gosub(subBusy,start,1());

[subBusy]
exten => s,1,Answer exten => s,2,Wait(1)
exten => s,3,Playtones(480+620/500,0/500)
exten => s,4,Wait(12)
exten => s,5,Hangup

However, after reloading the diaplan and calling from the specified number I get the error:

Gosub attempted to reach non-existent destination ‘subBusy

  • You are trying to gosub to the extension subBusy,start,1. But you have only defined subBusy,s,1.
    “s” has no special meaning in a subroutine as it did with Macro. Either change start to s or s to start.

  • Thank you Thank you Thank you! I changed it to: exten =>
    s/5553331111,1,Gosub(subBusy,s,1()) and it now works like a charm. Really appreciate the help!
